Max. Marks: 60
Answer any five questions
All questions carry equal marks
--1. a)
b)

What is critical thickness of insulation and derive the same for cylinder and sphere?
A steel tube of length 20 cm with internal and external diameters of 10 and 12 cm is
quenched from 5000C to 300C in a large reservoir of water at 100C. Below 1000C the
heat transfer coefficient is 1.5 kW/m2K. Above 1000C it is less owing to a film of
vapour being producing at the surface, and an effective mean value between 5000C
and 1000C is 0.5 kW/mK. The density of steel is 7800 kg/m3 and the specific heat is
0.47 kJ/kg K. Neglecting the internal thermal resistance of the steel tube, determine
the quenching time.

2. a)

Explain the importance of Heisier charts in solving the transient heat conduction
problems.
A slab of Aluminum 10 cm thick is originally at a temperature of 5000C. It is
suddenly immersed in a liquid at 10000 C resulting it a heat transfer coefficient of
1200 W/m2k. Determine the temperature at the centerline and the surface 1 min after
the immersion. Also the total thermal energy removal per unit area slab during this
period. The properties of aluminum for the given condition are: = 8.4 105m2 /s,
K=215 W/mK, = 2700 kg/m3, Cp= 0.9 kJ/kg.

Explain the terms hydrodynamic boundary layer and thermal boundary layer, how
are these thickness related to Prandtl number.
Compute the coefficient of heat transfer from a vertical plate of height 2 m to the
surrounding still air at 20oC when the plate is maintained at 100oC. Use the following
relation NuL = 0.15(GrLPrL)n (Pr/Prs)0.25, Where all fluid properties except Prs (Pr at
surface) are taken at the ambient temperature.
What is the criterion for transition from laminar to turbulent boundary layer in free
convection on a vertical plate?
Estimate power required to maintain a vertical heater surface at 1300C in ambient air
at 200C. The plate is 15 cm high and 10 cm wide. Consider equivalent radiation heat
transfer coefficient as 8.5 W/m2K.
Show that the Nusselt Number for the constant wall heat flux in the tube for the fully
developed flow is 4.17.
How to evaluate the heat transfer due radiation between the plates by the
incorporation of radiation shields?
Estimate the power required to boil water in a copper pan 0.35 m in diameter. The pan
is maintained at 1200C by electric heater. What is the evaporation rate and also
estimate the critical flux.
Explain the phenomena of flow boiling through the tube along with boiling curve.

Prove that intensity of radiation is given by Ib = Eb/.

State and explain Kirchoffs identity? What are the conditions under which it is
applicable?
A person standing 10m from a point heat source is subjected to a radiation intensity of
200106 J/hr m2. How far should he stand from the heat source to feel and intensity
of half the previous value?
Derive the Roshenhow equation for the estimation heat transfer coefficient during
evaporation.
Explain the physical significance of the mass transfer coefficients and describe the
analogy between heat transfer and mass transfer.
